"Recruiters spend only a few seconds on each resume to see if you are a fit."
I've never understood this attitude, and I never will. You want to hire good people, you have to invest some time to understand what people have done and in a few seconds this cannot be done.
However I do agree, the resume needs to capture the attention of the reader within the first few paragraphs of whatever structure that has been applied.
I agree with you on this! If you want to hire great people you need to be able to put in the extra effort to get signals from the resume.
From what I understand, this issue is usually for internships, new-grad and other entry-level jobs. These job postings get 1000s of resumes and the recruiters need to sift through them pretty quickly.
I do see that there are tech solutions trying to help recruiters here and I hope it gets better over time so that deserving candidates get interview calls.
